WindowsXP SP2

I prepared to deliver our system to our customer today. In our system, I use 2 pcs. One pc control one more pc remotely. Until now, we use WindowsXP SP1 but nowadays we can't get SP1. In SP2, the network security became severe. For our system the remote-control is required, it is a real troublesome problem for me. Because I am not familiar with Windows network. So I was setting with the support on the MSN messenger with the maker in Spain. After all, I could do it. I was glad to do it.

for the first time hybrid car

I went to a customer to deliver our system by a rental car. The car was a TOYOTA's hybrid car PRIUS. For the first time, I ride a hybrid car. It is said that the power of a hybrid car is lower than a gasoline-powered engine car. However I didn't feel the power is low. I felt its better point than the fault. The engine sound extremely became quiet. That was as quiet as I couln't know the engine started or not. The consumption of gas decreased by half. I thought a hybrid car is a car for the future.

VideoPodCasting

I did research on Video Pod Casting on the Internet today. I work as a technical support and I am familiar with computer. At the same time, I don't like computer. If I don't have use computer on bussiness, I don't want touch computer, I think. As I face computer screen everyday I may think so. I pick up on Video Pod Casting. First, I made a new blog site to upload movies for video casting. Then I prepared a sample movie to upload on the new site. The set-ups were complex and it was hard to upload the movie. But I did it. At last, I could upload the sample movie to the site and I could download it through iTune. After the site was acomplished I will introduce in this blog.

cherry-blossom time

Much Japanese love cherry-blossom, and I am not an exception. As I think why I love cherry-blossom, that is because it is ephemeral. It is beautiful. I went for a walk along a walking trail today appriciating cherry-blossom.

SEIKOHANTEN

I went to a shanghai restaurant SEIKOHANTEN today. I always wanted to go there because I had been nearby for many years. The restaurant along Meguro River seemed to be a well-established restaurant. In fact, I planed to go a new restaurant in the commercial street but the restaurant didn't open after bussiness hour, so I changed the plan. After all, the change of schedule was right. All the foods were very good. The best one was the fried rice. It was my favorite fried rice! It was the best fried rice I have ever eaten before. Next time, I want to try noodles.

I'm on a diet

I have gained 2 kilos in the last 2 months. Until now, even if I gained 2 or 3 kilos I could lose weight around 1 week. However the weight gained this time are still with me. When I found this matter I thought I got older. So I decided I go on a diet until I lose weight by 2 kilos. Today's dinner were vermicelli soup of 75 kcal and yoghurt with maple syrup.

foolish article

I found a funny article about LAN cables. The cable configuration is not round but flat. This shape is convenient when we lead the cables under the carpets or the doors. Also these type of LAN cables are soft and easy to bind up. Those are the advertising statement. The name of this type of cable is Kishimen-cable. Kishimen is a kind of Udon, which is flat shape udon, for your information it is very nice. This cable named after Kishimen. I don't like this easygoing name but I don't hate the way to introduce this cable because it is too stupid to hate it. I want to say "Good job!" to the staff to make this article.

WBC champion

At last, Japan team got victory in World Baseball Classics. That means Japan team is a number one in the baseball world. Baseball born in US was not popular all over the world, so US started this WBC this year, I heard. US major league participant must have intent of getting the major league known in the world. Ironically the winner was Japan team but I thought this WBC was a good publicity for the spread of baseball.

old creep

Typical old man like a kind of homily. My co-worker is a kind of an old creep because he like to preach. When I talk with him, I don't know why but I am always preached from him. It was not a exception today neither. I got a good talking before I was aware. In a sense, he might be a genius.

World Baseball Classic

I watched the game between Japan vs Korea in a WorldBaseballClassic semifinal at San Diego on TV. I don't like baseball so much but I like to cheer for Japan team in a international match. Am I a nationalist? I don't know but it is definite that I am a hungry for something to get crazy. After all, Japan team defeated Korea team and advanced the finals. The final match will be held on March 21st. Fortunately, it is national holiday on March 21 and I can watch the final game again on TV. Japan team will fight againt Cuba team. I hope Japan team defeat the strong Cuba team in a WBC held for the first time.

close school

The ceremony of closing my old school was held at Otyanomizu campus. I attended the ceremony with my school friends. When we were students the buildings were so old that many rooms didn't have even air-conditioners. We had studied at the old, crummy and dim room. But now, the buildings are rebuilded these days and the faces changes new modern buildings. The ceremony held at glassy building was worth participating. Because I can know the history of the school where started as a law school though I didn't know when I was a student. My old school had produced a lot of prominet women lawers. The special lecture of former students who carved the path for the advanced education for women was very interesting. I was proud of being a graduated student of the school. Now that the discrimination against women wasn't so much, a shool for only women doesn't need, they thought. I agreed with them. I hope my school have been a pioneer of advanced education world.

Jo Mino

I went out to dinner to the barbecue restaurant near my house. The restaurant mainly serves innards. Innards seems to be healthier than the other parts of meat. The restaurant where the owner of the same age of me runs is good and I often go there. I order the 3 kind of assorted innards whenever I go there, but today I ordered "Jo Mino" and "Mino". Mino in Japanese is the first stomach of cattle. By the way, how many stomach do cattle have? So, I have recognized "Jo Mino" is the part of superior Mino until now. Because Jo in Japanese has two meanings, "upper" and "superior". But I knew Jo Mino was not the superior Mino but the upper Mino. That was regarding the portion of cattle. I guess Jo Mino is the scarce portion because Jo Mino is usually more expensive than Mino. Anyway both Jo Mino and Mino was very good.

hair cut

I cut my hair today. Spring is coming soon and my hair style also was changed from long to short toward coming spring. I remember being long hair for a long time. Before I had shot hair but I started to grow my hair because I thought it might be the last chance to grow my hair. As I'm getting old, my hair is also getting old and the hair glow and beauty is gradually disfigured. I don't like old lady with long hair. So I had have long hair about for 3 years. But I went ahead and cut my hair short because I was bored long hair. I wonder if I have a chance to grow my hair.

high-handed building

I went to a university to deliver our system today. This has been the second visit to the university since last December. But the division of our customer moved to the new building this month, in that way, I have been there for the first time. When I got to the building I was surprised at the view. Because the building was built over the old building. The new building was built without pulling down the old building since the old one was the historic building and decided to keep it. I was interested in the strength of the building. In Japan, we frequently have earthquake. If the big earthquake hit Tokyo, can the building stand it?

ride on racing motorbike

I rode on the racing motorbike. However I didn't only run but also start up the engine. I went to our potencial customer's motion capture studio to estimate our system. They wanted to capture the motion which man rode on the bike. After all, the test went well. When I went back to our office I asked to the rider or the owner of the bike if I could ride on it. He said, "Sure. I'll have a picture of you.". The racing motorbike was big and the hight of the seat was too high to ride on without the step. I hope he sends the picture to me.

my sister's birthday

It was my sister's birthday today. Also it was my friend's birthday. There are many riends whose birthday is in March around me. In Japan, school term starts from April. So it's a good thing that child's birthday is April or May. All my friends who was born in March overcome the handicaps. However I think that it is a good thing birthday is march after they grow up because their birthday comes at the last of the fiends. That is to say they are the youngest of all of us. If I have a chance to have a baby, I want to give a birth in March and I hope my baby could grow up big and strong.

house cleaning

I did house cleaning today. Probably I like it because I can get fresh air and nice feeling after doing it. I have had hey fever since today in earnest. In order to lighten the sympton I have to keep my room clean. Also I don't hang out the laundry outside and I put the laundry in the drier in this season. But the amount of the cedar pollen seems like fewer than last year. I had been suffering at the end of January but this year I had hey fever from March. The term I have to persevere is just one month! Let's look at the bright side.

Shanghai restaurant

I went out dinner to a Shanghai restrant in Shinjuku. It was like the small alley in Shanghai not in Japan just around the restaurant. The restaurant is the locale of the novel FUYAJO which was prevalent several years ago in Japan. The food serve seemed like typical chinese woman who has a high-pitched and carrying voice. The food was very nice. All we ordered was good. One of the famous food is fried-bread with the fried-clam. This menu was taken up by some magazines. The sweetish bread went with the little spicy clam sauce very much.

collage

I entered a two-year collage after graduating the highschool and I transferred a collage as a junior. The other day I got a letter from my two-year collage to inform of the party which we former student commemorate the abolishment of the former department. The two-year collage has two department, law and economy. I graduate the law department. It seems that a new department established. I invited from my friend to join the party. I probably don't have a school spirit but I decided to join it since I never been to the new building of the collage and I want to enter the building.

friend's marriage

I got a big news from my friend from collage. She decided to marry! When I went out for drink at the beginning of this year, she asked me if I was going to marry. She said she doesn't keep her relationship with his boyfriend for a long time, so she worried about she might not be able to marry for the future. Also, she said "please don't marry before long" only half serious. Furthermore, she had said that she moved near my house at the end of Feburary. However she gave up the moving and will move to her fiance's house. The news was astonished me because time before she decided was too quick. She planed to move to live on her own one month ago. Anyway I hope she will be happy with him for a long time.
